"Miss, please don't, please spare my life..."
The wild flowers were brightly colored, and in a moment they dyed the maid's white dress into a variety of colors, which looked very funny.
“Hahahaha, tabby cat, hahaha, fun, fun, really fun, tabby cat…”
When the servant and the housekeeper rushed over, they saw this scene.
The housekeeper was also stunned when he saw the woman sitting on the ground, completely disregarding her image, holding wild flowers in her hands and smiling foolishly.
Is that really their lively and energetic Third Miss from the past
But that familiar face can't deceive anyone.
"What on earth is going on?" The butler, who was still standing in the corridor and had not yet walked to Hua Qianrou's side, shouted sternly.
Hearing the butler's voice, the maid who had just been teased by Hua Qianrou immediately knelt down in the direction of the butler without caring about anything else.
"Master Steward, please spare my life. It is all my fault. I did not take good care of the Third Young Miss. I deserve to die. I deserve to die. Please forgive me, Master Steward..."
In fact, if you trace the matter back to the source, it is not the little maid's fault. However, she is a servant after all, and servants have no status in this world where the strong and the weak are clearly divided.
So no matter whether it is your fault or not, as long as the master is angry, it is your fault.
At this moment, the housekeeper's mind was completely focused on Hua Qianrou, and he had no time to pay attention to the maid who was trembling with fear after being frightened by his harsh shouting.
The housekeeper is now thinking about one thing: who did it
The Third Young Miss’s cultivation is not weak, and she is accompanied by an elder.
By the way, speaking of elders, where are the elders
How come the third young lady came back but there was no sign of the elder
Could it be that the elder also met with an accident
Otherwise, the elder would never have watched the third young lady being harmed like this by the thieves.
But although the elder's skills are not the best in Yunhai City, there are not many people who can be compared with him. If even the elder is in trouble, then...
The uneasy feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger. I always felt that this time, the Hua family was in great trouble.
"What on earth is going on? Tell me, how did the Third Miss become like this?" I don't know whether the Third Miss has sent the news to the Jun family. Now that she is so crazy, I probably won't be able to get anything out of her.
Originally, the head of the family was still hoping that with the presence of the Third Miss, the Jun family would certainly help. But now, the Third Miss has become like this. Not to mention whether the message was delivered, even if it was delivered, would the Jun family recognize a crazy daughter-in-law? Would Master Jun Qing fight against the Yunhai royal family for such a lunatic
"My Lord, when we found the Third Miss, she already looked like this. As for how the Third Miss became like this, I really don't know."
Just when the butler was having a headache, he heard hurried footsteps again.
"Your Excellency, Master... Something terrible has happened... All our shops in the city have been damaged."
This kind of scene always seemed to have happened to him just now. Yes, it was the servant who reported the return of the third young lady. He looked exactly the same.
"What did you say!" All the shops are in trouble? What does this mean
"That's right... all the shops... not only those in the open, but also those operating behind the scenes, have had problems... Butler, please make a decision quickly..."
make a decision
All the shops have problems and let him make the decision.
Do you think he is a crab with many hands and legs? How can he control it
"Tell me what happened first. I will report to the head of the family for a decision."
"Someone in the silver shop spread the news that the Hua family had provoked an irresistible enemy and was facing bankruptcy. So all the people who deposited money in our silver shop went to exchange it for silver. Not only could the shop not take out so much silver, but the silver vault was also robbed last night. So the shopkeeper had no choice but to close the shop today. But the closure angered the merchants and people, and they started to make a fuss. The situation was out of control. There were other shops. The clinic was found to be selling fake medicine. The silk shop caught fire in its warehouse just before delivering the goods. A corpse was found in the inn... In short, there is no shop that is not in chaos now. What should the housekeeper do? Please think of a solution quickly."
If the problem happened to one or two companies, it might be accidental, but now that they are happening at the same time, there must be someone behind it.
In addition, the head of the family was suddenly thrown back with serious injuries last night, so the entire Hua family is now in a panic.
Who knows, maybe the rumors outside are true, and the Hua family has really provoked a powerful enemy and is about to be wiped out.
The housekeeper also saw what these people were thinking. The most urgent task was not to deal with these messy things, but to calm people's hearts.
If the army's morale is disrupted before the battle even begins, there will be no chance of winning at all.
Even though the butler was very panicked inside, he still looked calm on the surface. There was no other way, he had to pretend to be calm at this moment, otherwise he would be completely finished.
"Notify everyone and tell them not to panic. All of this is within the expectations of the head of the family. Last night, the head of the family ordered me to recall all branches and families affiliated with our Hua family. I believe they will arrive today. As for the situation in the city, it is just a feint to retreat and advance. You ignorant people don't understand. Anyway, follow my instructions and give them the orders."
Retreat to advance
A feint
It sounds really profound. They, the servants, really can't figure out the master's thoughts. I think the housekeeper is so calm, it must be true.
And now that we have reinforcements, I think there shouldn't be any big problems.
"What are you still dawdling about? Go quickly." It is urgent to calm people's hearts now. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Hua family.
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." Just as the servant agreed and had not yet gotten up, the scene of history was repeated.
All I heard was the sound of hurried footsteps, rushing towards the housekeeper.
…
I don’t know why, but when I hear this kind of footsteps, the housekeeper feels his temples throbbing…
Sure enough, the same courtyard, the same housekeeper, and the same lines sounded again.
"Your Excellency... Your Excellency the Steward... This is bad... This is really bad... Something serious has happened..."
“…” I was speechless.
The butler is very calm at this moment. Once, twice, three times, okay, he's used to it.
He resisted the urge to beat these servants to death and pretended to be calm and asked, "What's the matter? Just tell me and don't waste your words." Well, the first sentence was still very friendly, but the more he spoke, the more he felt that his anger was getting worse. His tone changed from soft to hard, his momentum changed from weak to strong, and the last word even sounded a bit like gnashing his teeth.
To be honest, the servant who came to report was also frightened by the butler's final hideousness, and for a moment he forgot what he was going to say next.
“That… is… what was it…” Wow, the butler’s expression is so scary, he looks like he wants to eat someone, I’m so scared.
The steward had already reached his limit of patience, but he didn't expect the servant to be so hesitant and unable to express himself clearly. This was really the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Immediately afterwards, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth rang out in the Hua family’s courtyard.
"explain!"
The birds on the trees were so frightened that they flew away, the morning dewdrops lost their feet, and the servant who came to report had his soul fly away to the sky...
The butler is so scary!
This is the common thought of everyone present at the moment.
The servant who was about to leave immediately whispered in the ear of the newcomer: "You are so disrespectful. How can you be so panicked as a member of the Hua family? The housekeeper has just told me that no matter what happens to the Hua family, it is the master of the family who is behind it. What kind of retreat is this? The housekeeper also said that the call for support was issued last night, and today all the families related to the Hua family, big and small, will come to support. When the time comes..."
Hearing this, the servant suddenly widened his eyes and spoke again: "Oh, that's right, something happened to those family members. They... they have arrived..."
Before the servant could finish his words, the butler immediately interrupted him.
"Hmm? They're here!" This was the first good news I'd heard since yesterday. "Since they're here, you should invite them in. Why are you yelling like this?"
The housekeeper's face turned from gloomy to sunny, and the surroundings that were just covered with dark clouds and thundering thunders suddenly began to blow with warm wind.
Well, even though the air now feels warm and comfortable, the butler seems to have misunderstood something.
Seeing the butler's amiable face, the servant swallowed hard and continued, "Well... Mr. Butler... they are here... but they can't come in..."
Um
Hearing this, the housekeeper's brows subconsciously moved closer.
Arrived but can't be invited in
What do you mean
Could it be that they knew the Hua family was in trouble, so they all acted in a pretentious manner
They are just a bunch of scum who depend on the Hua family for survival, and you're still giving them face.
Not to mention that their lives are held in the hands of the master of the family. Even if not, destroying them is just a matter of a flick of the Hua family's fingers.
However, the servant's next words made the butler's feet lighten, and he almost fainted.
"Because, they are all dead..." So please don't come in.
The servant felt nauseous when he recalled that scene.
He just heard someone knocking on the door and went to check, but who would have thought that when he opened the door he would see such a horrible scene.
Hundreds of corpses were piled up into a mountain, and all were leaning against the door. The moment he opened the door, the entire mountain of corpses fell towards him!
He really didn't want to recall the scene at that time. In the end, he crawled out from the pile of corpses.
It was so disgusting that even now he could still smell the stench of the corpse and the blood.
"You - said - what!" He spoke every word with gritted teeth. It was real gritted teeth, and it felt like his teeth were about to break.
"They are all dead, their bodies are piled up at the gate..."
The housekeeper's spiritual power suddenly leaked out and hit the kneeling servant directly. With a "bang", the servant vomited blood and fell to the ground, losing his life.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately knelt down and cried out for mercy.
"Master Butler, please spare my life, Master Butler, please calm down, Master Butler..."
In fact, the moment they heard that those people had died, they already felt bad in their hearts.
Now considering the condition of the butler, the rumors outside are most likely true.
The butler also knew what these people were thinking, so he killed the person who came to report the news. Because this kind of negative public opinion must not be spread widely at this time.
Not only did he have to kill the boy, but everyone present who knew about it would also have to die.
"Don't worry about my cruelty. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for hearing things you shouldn't have heard."
"Master Steward, please spare me. I didn't hear anything. Master Steward, I swear, I really didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything..."
The maidservants knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the housekeeper, tears streaming down their faces. Unfortunately, none of this moved the housekeeper. He never believed in any oaths, he only knew that only the mouths of the dead were the most reliable.
Looking at the three bodies lying in the yard, the butler calmly straightened his robes. He raised his hand, and two men in black appeared out of nowhere and carried the bodies away.
When the butler turned around to leave, he noticed Hua Qianrou shivering in the corner.
When the housekeeper focused on the servant, Hua Qianrou went to play with the mud by herself. But she saw the housekeeper beating the servant to death. Perhaps that scene evoked the most terrifying memory in her subconscious, so she was scared and hid in the hole in the corner of the wall, holding her head, tears on her face, and kept repeating in her mouth, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, second sister, don't kill me, Rou'er is very good, don't kill me..."
